Originating in the Loire Valley of France, Chenin Blanc is somewhat a chameleon of grapes. It classically has floral, apple, quince and pear aromas. In the Loire it is also known as Pineau. It makes some of the most extraordinarily long-lived, uniquely flavoured sweet wines in the world with honeyed characters but always a wonderful underlying acidity. It is an adaptable and light-bodied wine responsible for making everything from sparkling right through to very sweet ‘moelleux’ wines. Famous Loire Valley names include Vouvray (dry) to the very sweet styles such as Bonnezeaux and Coteaux du Layon. In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is made in a very dry, steely style. It thrives in California, South America and particularly South Africa where it is known as ‘Steen’. There are pockets of it grown around New Zealand and Australia, favouring warmer climates, such as McLaren Vale – Dowie Doole, Coriole and Bees Knees are wonderful examples.
